- STEX Restoration Tracker: Info & Discussion
  
  By Cyclone Boom · Posted: 1 minute ago
  
  (The above does not represent the current progress. It is a hypothetical representation only!) STEX Restoration Tracker Info & Discussion Good news! The real-time page to track restoration progress is now (finally) completed and available. Preview pic:
  It can be viewed at the following URL...
  https://community.simtropolis.com/restoration/stex/
  
  This topic serves as a mini guide, and also as a place where you can ask questions about it, report any issues, or suggest improvements. It's taken a good couple of weeks to develop this, and during this time we've seen a remarkable number of files already been restored. This is actually a very good thing though, because what the tracker provides is a real-time overview of what's been completed, and what still needs to be done. The info on the tracker will be updated every 5 minutes, so it'll be an accurate snapshot of the current restoration efforts. Layout Overview Firstly at the top, there are summary panels which total how many files have been: Restored Verified Still Missing And then the "Tracked Total" which includes any STEX file uploaded or updated after June 17, 2024. (Which was the date of our last full STEX backup.)
  Pretty self-explanatory for those, and then we have several filter options: STEX Tracker Search & Filter Options Filter / Control Description Author Search for an individual author's file entries. Category Filter by a specific STEX category (the main ones are listed first). Restored by A dropdown menu to filter by any files restored by specific staff or volunteers. Thumbnail Allows choosing between Small, Medium (default), and Large thumbnail images, which show in the table. Display Switch between Full (default), or Compact for the table, which allows fewer columns to appear. Search Allows searching for any particular file entries.
  You can also use the id:# prefix to find a file by its ID number (e.g. entering id:26793 will find the NAM). "Filter by" Specific Criteria Sub-Filter Description Any Missing Entries which have anything missing on them (files or images). Missing Files Entries with only files missing. This is the default option. Missing Images Entries that have only images missing. Duplicate Files Lists any entries which are duplicates of others, or have the same file uploaded. All Restored Lists all files which have been restored (whether verified or not). Restored (Unverified) Lists only files which haven't been verified. Restored (Verified) Lists only files which have been verified. With Message Banner Entries which have a "file missing" message banner still. With File Notes Lists any entries in the tracker which have 1 or more notes added. With Files Claims Lists any entries in the tracker which have 1 or more file claims added. All Tracked Files Lists the complete selection of entries, corresponding to the overall Tracked Total. Note: See more info below about File Notes and Claims. Table Columns Each of the columns are sortable when clicking the headings. This allows viewing entries by most files/images missing, or other combinations. Here is a summary of the individual columns and what they represent:
  File Entry: The title, author, date uploaded, and status text of what's needs restoring.
  Files List: Totals of how many files and images there are. These will be colour coded for red if missing, orange for partially missing, and green once everything is orderly and restored. The Notes total will be orange if there are any which need responding to. Click each of these to view a dialog which show the precise files assigned to the entry. This lets us see what's present or still missing.
  Found: The total number of File Claims. This represents how many people have a file, who can help with restoring if needed. Clicking this opens up a dialog with a summary of who has claimed what (files and/or images). We may wish to contact any of these people to assist with sharing them.
  Files: Indicates with a green checkmark or red crossmark, whether downloadable files for an entry have been restored. If partially restored, it will represent the current live status for how many are available.
  Images: Similarly will represent the status of how many screenshots on the entry are valid or missing.
  Verified: Whether the file has been approved or not. Shows a green checkmark once confirmed.
  Updated: The date when the file has been restored. Hover over to see the precise time.
  Restored By: Displays who restored each file. This will only be shown once a file has all entries in place, since we anticipate partial restorations will represent a work in progress. If the author does this, it will say File Author as the name.
  
  Volunteer / Staff Only column: Manage: There is a "File Tools" option with a range of functions. This includes copying the file ID number, adding notes, marking files as verified, and clearing message banners. Options will be greyed out if unavailable, with a message shown when hovering over each. There are also checkboxes beside each row, which then allows performing batch actions on applicable file listings. Other Options There are also a few extras to mention... Sticky Header: Allows the table columns to always remain in view when scrolling down. (Default is checked) Export CSV: Saves the current filtered data to a CSV file, which allows it to be imported into a spreadsheet. Some of you might be interested in this. Activity Log: Opens a dialog window with a list of actions as part of the restoration efforts. Reset Filters: Clears any filters you've set or table sorting, so everything returns to the initial display view (filtered by Missing Files). File Notes On the "Files List" column there is a total of notes for each file. This allows anyone to add a comment about the file in question. Then staff or anyone part of the ST Recovery Team can "check off" a note to acknowledge what it says. Notes can only be added on files which haven't yet been verified. Also, files can only be verified once all notes have been checked off. In effect this system is a way to mention any important details about each file. Perhaps there are additional entries which need adding. Maybe there is a Dark Nite version the author originally added. Perhaps something in the description isn't quite correct. It's a way to make anything like this known, so then we can collectively fix up issues as part of the process. File Claims No, this is not an insurance claim. (It's a way to express how you have content which can be restored.) Sometimes certain files might be especially difficult to locate. Maybe you have an older version which is worth restoring to the previous versions. Perhaps you've got saved copies of images which used to be on the STEX file entry, or have taken some screenshots yourself. For any files you might have locally and wish to help restore, feel free to submit a claim. Upon clicking the button: It'll open up a dialog like this:
  Then check any files you might have, and click the Confirm button. Even files which are "Present" you can check too, since sometimes there might only be lower resolution images or thumbnails. Once doing this, your username will be added to a list at the bottom. You can always return to the dialog and uncheck any files, to then remove your claim to have them. Verifications What does it involve for a file to be Verified? It means 2 people as part of the ST Recovery Team (including staff) have checked over to make sure a file has been restored properly. We'll be following a process to do this the best we can, which adds assurance to the restoration efforts. A file which has been verified means at least 2 people have downloaded all files on an entry, and checked out to ensure everything is in tip-top shape. In the event a file still needs something addressing after being verified, please let us know and we'll take another look. ---------- So that concludes a brief overview of the Restoration Tracker. Given the first phase of the project is focused around the STEX specifically, for now we're only keeping track of missing file entries. In time I'll expand this for an Attachments Tracker and perhaps other site areas like the Gallery, etc. Feel free to reply with any comments or questions you may have, and I hope this will be a useful resource for the restoration efforts.
